Cole Hagen: Texas teen BRUTALLY beaten by friends at party, left unconscious on street
CLUTE, TEXAS: A 16-year old is reportedly still unconcious in the hospital ICU after his so-called friends from school attacked him brutally in the middle of the street during a party. The victim's family seems to believe the attack on their son was nothing but a setup.
This teenage boy, Cole Hagen, is a junior student at Brazoswood High School and a varsity football player. The institute falls about an hour south of Houston. On Friday, 3rd December, Cole was lured to a party by his "supposed friends". This information was provided by Cole's older brother, Cory Hagen to KPRC-TV, an NBC-affiliated television station.

Cory explained how his younger brother Cole had been invited to a social gathering in the Lake Jackson farms neighbourhood. He went on to say that shortly after Cole arrived at the party, another teenager informed Cole that his car had been damaged. In a natural response to such news, Cole rushed outside to check his vehicle.
Not even a minute later, Cole was attaked and brutally beaten by his "supposed friends". His older brother added that one of the students from the group that attaked Cole hit him with a "blunt object" on the back of his head. He suspects that the "ring leader" had been planning this attack and the party since earlier this week. Once this group fled the scene, the "ring leader" texted one of Cole's close friends saying, "Go get your boy out of the street."
Other students who were at the gathering reported that once they were done attacking Cole, they left him lying on the ground outside. Cole was then admitted at the Memorial Hermann Hospital since Friday evening on December 3 after this horrendous incident. After doctors checked him, they reported three different skull fractures.
The victim's family is offering $20,000 as a reward to any student who may have a video of this attack. Since almost everyone uses a smartphone these days and with the onset of sharing every minute thing on social media, retrieving a video of the attack wouldn't be impossible.
'Senseless act of brutality'
In his interview with KPRC-TV, Cory expressed his feelings. "What I am feeling is ah, it’s a roller coaster of the most extreme grief you can imagine. To see him hurt and for him to be attacked in this senseless act of brutality, it’s unimaginable."
Since numerous students from Brazoswood High were a part of this incident, the school has also issued a statement that said, "We are aware that a Brazoswood High School student was the victim of an off-campus assault at a Lake Jackson residence by another Brazoswood student over the weekend. The student involved will not be on campus."
